Better title: Tough Luck for our WV friends

I don't know. He's done an outstanding job and probably accomplished all his goals. They're in a P5 conference. Football and basketball are both back on the rise with great coaches. He has them set up to succeed in the future.

C'mon man, the WVU president never called him a rock star. How good can he be?

 

[BoatShow]

He was super into Big East-12. Bummer

 

[DarthGrumpy]

I wonder if Luck ran out of luck and decided to work for Mark 'Grudge' Emmert and steaming pile of dung that the NCAA is today over a school in the XII that has just been doomed by Texas torpedoing any expansion hope?

 

[Seaa Blue]

No doubt this will make it easier to watch his son play ball. Good for him.

 

[Kolumbo]

Luck is going to drop the hammer on 1/4 of the ACC. UCONN and WVU in!

 

[Antiobserver]

UNC and FSU best be getting some Christmas cards to send to Luck.

Pitt should be on high alert for probation soon as well

And I'm sure getting the heck out of Morgantown had nothing to do with it. What a godforsaken place that is

Wonder if in his new position he'll have influence over the current rule re 12 teams for a conference championship game. If he lobbies for and can push through a 10 team threshold, he may just have been the Big XII's Trojan Horse.

The NCAA will do what they always do & take no position so they don't upset anyone. It will be up to the P5 as part of autonomy to decide whether to allow the ACC's proposal of not needing division champs to play in a CCG & whether to allow conferences to hold CCG with less than 12 members

What town is the NCAA headquartered in? What is the pro sports team in that town?

 

[gioff23]

Officially? Indy. In officially? Birmingham.

Good point. Didn't even make the connection.
